Tips for level 578Before you make a move check the bottom and see if you can make a match below the conveyor, this will stop the chocolate spreading too much.

If you can make wraps and get them down into the center jelly they will do plenty of damage, same with stripe/wrap combos.Don't forget to keep checking the top of the board for specials, it's easy to concentrate on the jelly and bombs and forget to look up there.The bombs need to be dealt with first or it's game over before you get very far, but I can't stress enough that you need to keep looking at the top. Look for stripe/wrap combos and colour bombs.If you make a colour bomb save it for a couple of moves to see if you can get a stripe next to it as this combo will clear a lot of cream and jelly.Don't waste too many moves though, if the combo isn't possible within a couple of moves use the colour bomb on one colour.

I didn't use any boosters at the start of the level , I got a good board at the start I had a match on the bottom , so that meant the chocolate didn't spread much , then I got a wrap and strip combo , on the cascade a colour bomb fell and I matched it with a stripe , then got two wraps together above the Choc factory and I had two moves left with one jelly so I had no matched and used a lollipop cos that was the close I ever got

I do believe this to be one of the worst levels of candy crush I've ever come across. Who cares they fixed the bug I don't even get close! Even with a good board to start with them giving me 3 color bombs! This is ridiculous. From what I see it's best to save up and get jelly fish to help. HATE this level.

Wow - this level is basically impossible. I'm pretty much got to wait until they somehow make this easier - otherwise I'm stuck with Dreamworld. I doubt anyone will get this without spending money on many hammers and I refuse to do that!

Simply the worst designed level yet - and the first really bad one since they designed the conveyor belt (a great mechanic).There is no viable strategy - it's going to be pure luck. I've had no friends complete this yet. Between the chocolate, licorice, the bombs and the incredibly bad shape, what can you do other than buy MANY specials? Maybe 30 jelly fish would work but even those would be hard to match up.

Hate this level!!The design is awful. No room to make specials. Having to contend with bombs and chocolate and the conveyor belt is really no fun!! Hope they do something to alter this level or otherwise my candy crush career may be over!!

i have seen some difficult levels but this one is annoyingly horrible please make this level easier by removing a colour and give more time before the annoying chocolates starts to block some of the candies that do give us a useful move and give extra time on the bombs otherwise players will stop playing candy crush

from candy crush fan who may not be for longer if something is not done

This level is impossible without ridiculous luck. I've had it with Candy Crush. the end had to come sometime and now is a good time. I'm sick of this. I can't even get close and as one person said, no novices have gotten this far. So good bye Candy Crush I MIGHT come back to see if they've made this a little more possible. I'm up for a challenge but they've done everything on this level to defeat a person.

This one was practically impossible. After many many tries I finally got close, and used 2 of my lollipop hammers from the free daily spins to help finish it off. It helps when you can drop horizontal stripes into the bottom 2 rows, but you'll need more than one of these, plus a stripe/wrap combo or two to get close.

Nearly impossible to do. I managed to finish it off using three lollipops from my free spins. I actually enjoy the conveyor belt levels because there is strategy to playing. But this level....fuhgetaboutit! There is no entertaining value in it. Heck, we've made it this far but if levels like this one keep showing up I'll pass.

Hopeless! I'm not even getting close - even with a stripe paintbrush charm. About the only way I see making this level more reasonable is replacing the chocolate factory with another creme covered jelly.

I just realized that you would have to hit the square with 4 levels of creme on it 6 times to clear the jelly underneath. how is that possible for the 2 squares underneath the walls on the left and right side?

Actually, this level is a blessing in disguise at it ends my candy crush addiction (along with its wallet eating properties) as it doesn't even help to buy any of the specials. 40 hammers might do the trick but I'm not willing to spend that kind of money. Sorry King - but you outdid yourselves this time - NO MORE money madness!

Not just hard but boring too - even with a lucky board and quite a few specials I haven't come near to getting all the jellies. The fact that it's not on my Android tablet yet and it is so tedious means that this may be the end of the CC road for me - human nature is such that you need at least the possibility of success in order to persist! AS

Vile...just vile! Have got this far without buying ANY boosters and yet this one seems impossible. I DID clear it once, using 2 hammers from free spins on my last few moves, but the board said I had one jelly left?? I don't buy that for a second - a lapse in concentration having gotten this far...I don't think so :/

Got through this in the end, still without buying anything, after 3 days of never getting close. Definitely needed luck particularly with combos (keep a careful idea for possibles at the upper part of the board) and still needed two lollipops accumulated from the days whilst waiting for this episode. Very boring as most of the 50 goes are spent staving off the bombs. Good news is that, once through this, the rest of the levels are much easier

Can't believe I passed this level after 3 or more days. Had pretty much given up when all of a sudden the "stars" aligned. I would have to say it was pure luck, no boosters were used and when I saw the "level completed", I thought "WHAT??" I definitely would have given up at this point!! Just keep checking for combos everywhere..18 May 2014 15:23

I think I've finally met my match. At least on the other levels in regular mode, you know what you need to do, or what needs to happen. I can't see this board being completed unless you have 20-30 boosters. I saw a video on YT, the guy used dozens of boosters and barely finished. I only have a couple, the daily spin gives you ones you can't use on the board. So until I have 30 lollipops, I can't see even coming close. I've played this board about 40 times never coming close. The conveyor belt was an amazing addition, last level was the best ever, and then they give us this board? I can feel myself getting to the point where I am done w/the game. Takes forever for them to make new levels anyway.

Boring and slow. This isn't even interesting enough to be infuriating. Just so boring. There is nothing even remotely fun about it that keeps me going. I think my addiction is finally broken. Having more fun with Farm Heroes.

Thanks for the good times. You creators kinda messed up on this level, and I'm done.

I will NOT spend another cent on ANY King game until this rubbish is fixed. There is so much wrong with this board I don't know where to even start. I suppose the shape with 6 colors is the most ridiculous. Never have I seen a level where you could easily have NO MOVES 40 moves into the level! Of course you could also make cases for the bomb, chocolate machine, cages...

The bombs, the chocolate, the liquorice, the difficulty in making any combos - this level has it all. The only good thing about it is that is so boring that I can't be bothered playing it much thus freeing up lots of time! By this level I'd like to feel that skill plays a bigger part than luck but the comments above and my experience indicate that this isn't so. AS

sometimes i feel that this level gets worser by the day, today i used 5 lives and got hardly any matches on the bottom row of the belt for getting rid of the jellies, so what hope do i have getting rid of all the jellies, its a terrible level and whoever finishes this level must have a lucky board thats all.

A game is supposed to be about enjoyment but this level is nothing more than BORING. Mind-numbingly boring. If they would just remove one colour I'm sure I could cope with the bombs, the liquorice, the layout, the layers on top of the jellies. I am getting nowhere close and have played about 50 times, used up my free specials and even when I got a fairly good board with a number of specials being made, I wasn't able to blast a bomb. Arrrggghhh! I cannot stand this one. Think I'll leave it a while and come back to see if they've improved it. :(

I'm done, this is ridiculous, I hate even going to play. My addiction got a jolt and I realize it's over. King you shot ureself in the foot with this. I didn't get this far by being stupid. and this insults my intelligence. it's made to do everything possible to defeat you with no strategy involved, only many, many boosters and much money spent. Good riddance

Laughably stupid of King to make such a ridiculously hard level. If I was able to get anywhere near clearing all the jellies I would probably buy extra time or a booster or two. As it is, I am so far away every boring game that no amount of purchases would enable me to win. For the same reason, I'm not using any of my freebie boosters before the game begins as I cannot see how they will help.

this is a stupid level. there is no strategy at all, except to buy a ton of boosters and cross your fingers. they need to fix this level so it's at least playable/enjoyable, there is a fine line between difficult and incredibly frustrating, they've crossed that line big time.

This is the MOST ridiculous level EVER! The only thing it allows you to do is go for the bombs and if you get something good the chocolate destroys it. Reading all these comments really makes me want to quit. King, you need to change something!

LEVEL 578 BLOWS!!! I have been playing this level for about 5 days as often as I can. That means about 20-30 lives a day. Yes I have no life... Anyway, this level sucks balls. No luck no matter what I do. I cannot form combos to save my soul. It is boring, and mind numbing. I'm giving up my Candy Crush addiction. All my friends have piled up on this level and no one is moving past. I'm sad, but any game has got to be better than this freakin' level... Chewing tin foil would be better than repeating this level.

Yet another poorly designed level that was clearly made to force you to use boosters/extra moves to pass or wait until the game decides to pass you with a lucky board.

I've gotten this far without spending money on anything but this is an ongoing trend on so many levels lately dating way back in the early 300's to now and quite frankly, I think its past due for me to find another game that is less stressful and frustrating.

100% agree with the comments here. This level was poorly designed and impossible to complete. I've spent about 200+ lives on it at this point and have yet to even come close to finishing. The worst part about it is that the level is so long and boring you don't even know you're going to fail until you go from 50 down to 15 moves....so you're basically wasting your time. And I was sooooo excited when they finally released new levels. Oh well. Time for a new game; this is just too stupid to even get mad about.

hope nobody buys any boosters for this level as it will be a waste of time hopefully encourage king to improve this level. the dam chocolates covered my stripe and wrap combo which i hardly never get, the only one good advantage about the chocolate is that it covers the bombs.

i dont know why they ask us for the "type the text" on the bottom before you submit the comment, i think a robot would be too inteligent to play this level as it would know that it would be impossible just by looking at it.

Just passed this horrible, boring, badly designed level after 3 days of trying. I have absolutely no tips that anyone who has got to this level won't have worked out for themselves. In the end I didn't use any boosters, just finally got a "lucky" - by which I mean not absolutely ridiculous - board. Feel no satisfaction whatsover in getting through as I did nothing different to all the other times - just played the moves that I could.

well done above at least you can now stop tearing your hair out, i usually go back and try to get higher scores but if and when i pass this stupid level i dont ever want to see it again i will be just grateful that i passed it, i just hope they dont put this on dreamworld

I've been stuck for days and haven't even got close. I've used up all my freebies from the daily wheel and am starting to get fed up. I'm finished in DreamWorld, but maybe I'll spend my lives back there trying to get the 3 stars on the 5 or 6 levels I'm still missing. If this level ever appears in DreamWorld I won't even try it - I hate levels that are all luck and no skill.

All I can do is reiterate the above. I hate this level. My friend was only stuck on it for three days and she's long past me by now. I've been stuck on it for four days with seemingly no end in sight. I know it's all luck, so I try to use my lives as often as I can, knowing that eventually the stars will align and I'll get by. But in the meantime, trying to survive this ridiculous, boring level.

I agree with all of the above comments. This level is horrible. I have been on it for probably a week now and have never even gotten close to complete. I don't even look forward to playing any more. Like so many others I am seriously thinking about saying goodbye to Candy Crush. It used to be fun but the last section was very challenging and if this is any indication of what is to come from now on, I am afraid I am done also.

This level is far beyond frustrating! What was the designer thinking? I've yet to even come close to finishing there are to many bombs to deal with and the move conveyer does not help the cause. This might be the lvl that officially causes me to walk away from this game! SMH is one thing to be a challenge and other to be down right impossible!

OMG - this horrid piece of #&$^@$! is over! For the first time ever, I won the "jackpot" on the free wheel and I used the 3 free switches and 3 hammers as well as my charm of stripes to finish this @^#&$! off!I know NO ONE who finished this without power ups.

thats so funny using 30 lollipop hammers if thats what it takes then there is no hope for me as i dont even have any left and i am not even getting any on my free spin either, at least you got through by hook or crook nice one. sometimes i dont even get below 35 moves before a bomb has timed out. waster

This is mental torture, I just play blindly now thats how bad it has become that I cant even be bothered to look at it anymore. it has mentally strained me out and I am sick of going on dreamworld because of the stupid owl he's no better and I hate his angry face because he's fallen off, but excuse me darn owl its not our fault if some moves make you fall of, you should fall off so badly that you never be able to fly back over the moon so thereI know this comment is about level 578 but I am really pi$$ed off now

Was down to the last meringue on a lucky try. Got a wrapper+wrapper miraculously. Anyway, I had 3 lollipops and one move left. I hit it once, twice, last one and what happens, a licorice falls down the side and right into the last jelly so the last lollipop I tried anyway now I have no boosts. First time I got close out of 100 tries at least. I am done w/this game.

After reading all of these comments, I'm dreading this level. I'm still on 577. Not feeling any love from anybody towards 578. Can it possibly be worse than level 500? I thought that was the worst level of all time! Since I can only play 577 on the PC, I have to play 5 lives at a time so it's taking me a while. Maybe by the time I get here, they will have nerfed this level.

This level is BORING. I'm hoping to get enough lollipops with the spin thingy. Chocolate bombs will not help. Combining stripes with wrapped won't do it. I've been at this level for about a week now. I despise Dreamworld, and now I'm despising this. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise and a sign to quit. Haha...maybe you'll end up like Zynga.

Thank you to the developer of this level... you helped me to decide to quit playing candy crush - am pretty sure you are enjoying the big big reward by the competing company! you are indeed a great asset of that other company! The make or break of a company is indeed on the hands of its employees! Good job! Awesome!

I agree they made this level impossible without using boosters, so I decided to use my freebies. Color bomb, fish, and wrap/stripe to start the game. It took me 2 lives then until I used the switch and lollipop during the game, carefully, and won. I think they made this level to win only with boosters and to delay people for them to develop more levels (and money!!!). USE YOUR FREEBIES. You should have plenty of them.

I first posted back on the 16th. Here it is 6 days later and I don't even want to play this level. I am back to Dreamworld. I agree with all posts above, especially the one about King making money while they get more levels together. You can start the game with boosts, but you never know when that great board will appear! What a waste.

Still trying ... and getting nowhere ... keep getting the swingometer appearing asking how good this level is ... 'boring' is a totally inadequate description ... really thinking of quitting candy crush altogether as I am fed up with Odus falling off his perch too!

I agree with the many people who hate this level. There is no strategy to follow, just incredible luck plus lots of boosters. I've used up all of my freebies, and I refuse to spend money buying more. If they don't revise the level, I will move on to other games.

I hope King listens to us! I played this level for the first time last night. Heinous is the best word to describe it! The chocolate just swallows up the jellies. If you are able to clear the chocolate, it just comes back. I played 5 times and it was a joke! Worse than level 500 in my opinion. In fact, dare I say the worst level ever!!! I have a lot of boosters saved up and I don't want to waste them on a level that isn't the least bit fun. Loved the conveyor levels until now. Get rid of the chocolate dispenser or just put regular chocolate there that disappears once you get rid of all of it.

OK, so this is a hard round - and we need those to keep us interested - it would be awful if all rounds were too easy. But I have to say that this is the most boring level I have played. Some levels have taken me a couple of weeks or so to pass, and I've got frustrated, but persevered - but this one is so boring, I would pay to complete it. For the first time since I started playing, I am going off the game and not playing every day.Praying for a lucky board - good luck to anyone who, like me, is trying to get past this level.xx

This level is just no fun at all and impossible to beat. I have played some tough levels where I just couldn't wait to try another one. This one is so hateful and boring that I am seriously thinking of giving CC up for good. After all this time! I do not like having to depend 99% on luck and just waiting for that to happen.

I had about 10 lollipops from my spin wheel which I used on my other difficult levels thinking that a level is never tough enough to complete without boosters, how wrong was I, not only do you need loads of boosters, but you need a lucky board and alot of help from god. I tried the free boosters that you select from the start of the game strip/wrap fish and choc bomb twice but was still left with three jellies to go before I ran out of moves, if only I had some lollipops. I think the best and only tip for this game is using lollipops and nothing else.

Ok this level is designed to frustrate King's candy crush fans that have been loyal to the game. Clearly, it is best not to allow King to destroy your soul in an effort to get you to depart with your money and buy your why out of your torment...

So what's a Strategy?

1. Don't get too involved in this level for the first few days, the games algorithm will be set far too difficult to allow you only the very slightest chance of clearing the level.2. In the early days of playing this level, simply play through as quickly as possible and when offered a level enjoyment meter, always vote boring. (They need to get the message, not that I think they listen)3. After three or four days the games algorithm will be set so as to allow you easier boards and more opportunities to make special candys'. Although this level is so difficult you may still struggle...4. After a week or so the algorithm will make the board much easier and you will notice that even cascade explosion will create special candys', and offer you great opportunities that were not seen in the early days.

So the bases of this strategy is, do the bare minimum and wait for the games algorithm to ease off and give you better boards.

'Do Not' allow King's game designers to frustrate you. When the Candy Crush bubbles bursts, I believe it will be remembered as a purely evil, soul destroying game...

WOWWW.. Frustrating level indeed... i agree with the comment above that u have to wait for a few days to have easier boards... there is also one tip, which eases the level. if u remove the candy right beneath the chocolate factory, the chocolate wont start building up... video in the following link:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=610800979017733

I just played my last game. 578 is simply impossible. I was fortunate in my last game to have 2 wrapper combos, 1 stripe+wrapper mix and I had a color bomb+color bomb (by far the most specials I've ever had on a game) and I was still about 20 jellies from completing it. So basically even if the they gave you 500 moves you would be hard pressed to finish. I'm not paying them a dime, I uninstalled the app from my ipad and took it off my FB, no mas.

Tediously boring, boringly tedious. O Candy Crush Gods and the Algorithm you have sent us, please have mercy...Or wait- maybe it's a sign, it's time to spend my time on something worthwhile instead of this stupid game.

"OH MY GOD" the impossible has become the possible I'm so over the moon I have actually passed this level without any boosters so it can be done with 2 moves left, have been at it 5 days, my score was 260 900 *** I dont really care about the score but whoah I am thrilled I am practically shaking so cc fans don't buy anything as this board can be beaten. I dont ever want to return to this board ever again in my life I'm moving on to level 579. I had 2 combos of wrap and stripe and the bottom 2 rows in the corners a choc ball which helped me get rid of a bomb colour . I do feel for you guys I wish you lots of luck

lol... Why is King adding new levels after this one. Only the very very lucky few will get through this level. King is wasting their time making new levels for so few. Maybe they should make this level less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of completing.

I agree with others, vote it boring, they may notice, if they watch this blog just how many customers they are losing?

This is the first I've heard of algorithms being placed in Candy Crush. I guess it makes sense though. I only play this level 5 times a day because I can't play on my phone yet. I'd like to know when this level will get easier. Is there a certain number of games before it does? I read just about every single level's blogs and I have never seen so many negative comments. Even level 500 didn't have this many people saying they were quitting for good. Don't let the game beat you! Beat the game! That's my motto. I may have a few less hairs on my head by the time I get to 579 but I'm not giving up. They will probably nerf it eventually. I hope! I hope! I hope!

I just passed this level, used my last four hammers as I couldn't face another go at this level - hateful and boring, boring, boring. I think I agree about the algorithm. I have noticed this on other levels, when suddenly you get luckier boards, although maybe it's just the luck of the draw.Good luck to all of you who have yet to complete this level.x

I agree with most people here, this level is so unlikable and ruthless! Not only do the exceedingly huge number of bombs keep dropping and the licorice swirls, but every time there is a good combo to be used, the conveyor belt always switches and the chocolate swallows it up! So infuriating!!

Definitely some kind of algorithm at work. Been on this level a week and I'm starting to see a lot more special candy opportunities every try, which was not the case in the early days of trying this hideous level...

This was an absolutely terrible level. Took me 8 days, at least 300 tries and FOUR free lollipop hammers to finally beat it. I've been stuck longer on levels, but never had to use so many boosters. It sucks.

I do agree with the algorithm thing... take it easy and DO NOT BUY ANY BOOSTER! after a few days of playing,special candies will just show up for no reason... I did use one hammer though in order to successfully complete the level...

Something like this also happened before in a lower level... it seemed impossible to finish it, but after a few days, a fan which used to be somewhere within the board just didn't show up anymore...

I try for 4 days. Now I stop and wait for Dream world. I won't spend any money. I vote as boring every time. I don't know whether they count them or not. It is wasting time to continue playing. I don't like to wait for luck.

Possibly the most irritating boring level in the whole game. I'm playing it on one of the infinity offers at the moment, just waiting for THEM to send down the right candies. This level has NOTHING to do with skill.

The developer of this level should be shot. I know the point is to get you to pay for boosters (I never have) and on a few rounds I've been close so many times that I was tempted to pull out the plastic. But this round is so bad that even if I won the lottery I wouldn't pay a penny to finish it. If I don't destroy the chocolate factory or get some decent boosters I quit after 2 moves. Finished Dreamworld as well, so looking for another game to kill my brain cells with.

Okay, I agree with everyone here. It is one of those levels where you have to rely on luck MORE than skill. What I would like to see is a post or a comment from COOKIE that tells us how many attempts it took to beat the level and give us this video. Maybe I wouldn't feel so stupid if I knew it took her/him 25-30 tries, or more.

All of us who have gotten this far are good at this game, but this level could be my undoing. Have been at it for weeks, not even coming close. As many of the posters have said, an impossible combination of everything. CC peeps, PLEASE do something to help your loyal (up to this level) customers! It ceases to be fun when the level is impossible.

I was one of the lucky ones above who passed this level using 5 lollipop hammers from the free bonus wheel. Just finished 590 so there's no where else to go now until they come out with more. After 578 the rest if fairly easy. There were a few that were quite fun to play and some that were mildly challenging. Don't give up - your lucky game will come.

Finally!!!! After many many days of trying, had to use a hammer and a slappy hand and got two color bomb right at the end. Passed on the last move. What a relief. Just keep trying and you will get the right board. Have to agree though, no skill just luck.

this level absolutely sucks big time I was waiting ages for the new levels to open and have now been stuck here ever since. I agree with many other comments here, this level makes it easy to break the addiction, I have reduced to maybe a couple of tries a week and, for the first time ever, dont even to bother to use all my lives before giving up and leaving the game. Such a shame I loved this game

So annoying level!And a lot of bugs and issues!Last time i nearly beat it,only one jelly was left and I've got striped and wrapped candies next to it.I thought-yes,at last!But then suddenly my board shuffled,like i didn't have any possible moves.WTF?The result?I lost!Ugh!

I've never posted before, but this level needs to be addressed. This is the most boring level to date. The programmers really laid an egg with this one. I don't even bother playing all 5 lives. I play one life a day after spinning the wheel, and log off. Brutally bad!

When you get to this site and there are 120 comments, it certainly doesn't look good. I have been on this one for almost 2 weeks and am about ready to quit playing. I have friends that have already quit. This level is totally frustrating and no fun. There are so many bombs and chocolate you don't have a chance. You really need a lucky board. This one may be the end of me also. There are other games out there now that I am enjoying more than Candy Crush and I didn't think that was possible. I don't mind challenging but this one is impossible.

After numerous attempts and not getting close I attacked it with my freebie boosters. Started with color bomb, fish and striped/wrapped combo. With them, an in game hammer and some luck I finally passed this level! Actually with 31 moves left. Good riddance 578!!!

Definitely getting closer, still not there and I used all my fish. They help. Use em, they're not much good to us in these advanced levels. Annoyingly they do appear on the bottom and get quickly eaten by chocolate, not cool.

i have never been stuck on any level for more than 2 days. Only been playin 9 months. I've never used a booster to complete a board, and never bothered spinning the dumb wheel until this level. Now I wish I had been spinning the last 9 months Now I do have boosters but none that would help this level. I only have a couple of hammers, which seems to be the best option here. I cannot even get close to completing this level!! Someone send me 20 hammers I will clear this in a jiffy!!

was there for 2 weeks, got close 2 or 3 times. for my last try i activated all boosters before starting and this time it was right desition, first move was colour bomb/stripe combo which cleared most of the problems, finished with 26 moves left. greetz from germany

I read some of you saying you've been stuck here for a few days. How about a few weeks now? And I'm no novice, I've gotten this far in less than a year. I've never been stuck like this. That algorythym thing doesn't work for me. Obviously it's been four weeks and I still haven't passed it. I'm hoping leaving a message here will somehow help me.

The only pleasure in this level is being able to vote is boring every 5th attempt. Personally in around 200 attempts I have voted this boring about 40 times. I don't think King takes any notice of what people vote.

I am giving this one day to complete and then, if I'm not getting anywhere I'm done with Candy Crush. Games are supposed to have some level of enjoyment even if very difficult . There are too many levels with no enjoyment and I'm getting really fed up because it seems the goal is just to try to force people to buy boosters. I will use all my saved boosters before I uninstall. After that no more King games.

I am at 590 but I keep coming back here to read the comments - the list gets longer and longer. when will they listen to us and do something about this? I wonder how many have quit the game because of this level?

I'm officially quitting. Obviously I was a dedicated player since I've gotten this far and have passed many foul levels before this (350,421,461,500, just to name a few) but this game just isn't fun or worth playing anymore when you constantly feel as though you need to hoard/buy a ton of boosters in order to keep going, then its time to say no mas.

I take you guys are playing on pc/laptops open few of windows/tabs whichever you prefer and load candycrush I play via facebook, and when you have at least 1 life left(not 0 life or it will not work) click your level on the main path board on all of the windows/tabs and you should be able to play extra goes and when you have recovered to one life again you can play again on each window/tabs you have opened. I hope this helps from VJ

20 tries a day for 3 weeks, that's over 400 attempts. On my journey here, like you I have handled and passed some really tough levels. This one is beyond being fair, not even got close to finishing this level. It's totally heinous, completely evil.

I was on the cusp of abandoning CC anyway when I reached the previous end of the line, but when the new set of levels came out thought "what the heck, I'll give it a whirl", but level 578 is the one that's finally killed any remaining spark of interest. This is the worst of a number of ill-thought out levels as anyone who made it this far already knows. CC has had its day and is old hat now. Cheers then.

BORING! Thank you kind CC designers for giving me back my time. This level is so tedious that I can't be bothered to lose five lives, I am finally bored by this stupid game. Never saw the day I would quit Candycrush, but this level has made it effortless.

I am bored with this level and from all of the other posts I am not the only one.. dreamworld here I come.. It irritates me that I can not get past this one after 5 days I am bored to tears and pissed too.

Been playing this one for well over two weeks. The closest I ever came without any power boosters or extra moves was 4 jellies remaining. As others have mentioned, there is no technique. When I finally was able to beat it, I got a favorable board and had many wraps and stripes (not combos though). Got down to three jellies left and then had to use the chocolate stopper and hammers to finish the level. This one is like your college weed-out course.

I finally quit and deleted candy crush from my facebook account. When I went into my activity log there was hundreds of entries made by candy crush. Facebook's activity log recorded not only every level I completed, but also every special candy I exploded, every life I gave to a friend, literary everything was logged.

This is beyond Big Brother...

I'm not using any game in Facebook ever again, I do not wish my downtime to be monitored...

Normally, I am thrilled when Candy Crush is updated on Android. Mine finally updated last night. Since I have been playing level 578 on the PC, I wasn't even remotely excited about seeing my phone app open this morning on this most heinous level! Suggestions for King:Get rid of the sixth color, purple or...Get rid of the chocolate dispenser or...Get rid of the licorice swirls or...Get rid of the bombs!

It's all just too much in a small space. I rarely get a sprinkle ball or wrapped candy. I have not used my daily wheel boosters yet. If I become desperate enough, I will. It looks like it worked for some people!

Just done this level after many attempts. No strategies at all so don't think about it. With six more moves left I decided to use one lollipop at the end just to make sure chocolate didn't cover the remaining jelly, If that would have happened would definitely have never played again. This level might have been the most difficult yet but was also the most boring, really put me off the game didn't excite me passing this level as it was pure luck, I like to think maths plays a part in working things out but no literally pure luck.

Hi, start playing this episode about 1pm and clear 578 in about 15th try there were still 17 moves left and one candy left then decided to use lollipop hammer from free spin. Only use lollipop because I was scared of chocolate covering the last candy and I waste all 17 moves.

Another stupid level, but this is worse than ever. Been playing this 10 times a day since the released it.. adds to maybe 150 times... 2 times I've been close, which means 10 jelly left. And that is not really close...Came this far without buying anything and won't start now. Doesn't matter how you play you will loose anyhow. There is absolutely no skills in this level, only pure luck.I've spent 20 booster (from the freewheel) in one single game and still didn't make it.This level is the end of CC for me. I thought it was rather fun before and very addictive but this is just boring and not even worth getting annoyed on. Just facing facts, you can't beat it without luck and Id rather spend my luck on winning the lottery than playing this shit level.

None of my 20 friends have been close and we are all ending this game now, bye King.You are digging your own grave with this stupid level. You just lost 20 players... WIll be deleting this from FB now.

3 stars on entire previous episode w/o buying boosters,completed 560 games in 3 months (then had to wait for more games). Got lucky along the way? Sure. I also know what I'm doing. Now that I've played this level and read the previous comments I have my doubt if King knows what it's doing any more. BORING does not equal challenging, or fun, or creativity or ...CUSTOMERS.

I finally passed this level after a hundred or so attempts! I wish I could say that it was because of strategy but most of it was the luck of the board.

After clearing a path to the bottom level of jelly, I was able to slide a horizontal stripe into that section. Amazingly, the chocolate left it alone! I then ended up with a wrap/stripe combo in the two bottom conveyor belts. When they exploded, they cleared the jellies on the sides and set off the horizontal stripe. That chain reaction cleared all the jellies except the two on the right and left, just below the open sections. Those are the hardest to clear! Each had one layer of merangue and two layers of jelly. I had 4 lollipop hammers from the booster wheel. I figured "what the Hell" and decided to use them. I used two hammers on the left spot, taking it down to one jelly. I knew I needed 4 more hammers to finish the job so I concentrated on the right side and got that spot down to no jellies! In the mean time, the chocolate covered up the remaining left jelly. Seriously???? I realized though that two hammers would do it. I held my breath and pounded the chocolate and the jelly. Sugar crush!!! I hope these tips help others. I wish I could say it was more than just luck.

I do enjoy a challenge, but this level is some serious "game suck!" I'll keep trying, but it's not enjoyable. I'm not a fan of the slow, one move at a time with no action levels. I like the fast moving, exciting levels. Sigh......I shall plug away in utter boredom and maybe, just maybe, I'll Someday pass level 578!

After playing hundreds of rounds, I managed to beat level 578 without using any boosters. After reading all the posts here, I am considering myself to be quite lucky. I had been working on this level for maybe a week or two. In the course of playing, before I beat this level, I never really came close to beating. I would say the closest that I came to beating this level prior was probably around 6 jellies away. I don't have any really good tips to share. I got some horizontal stripe candies in the bottom two rows a couple times and that helped a lot. Note also that once you clear those bottom two rows out a bit, it is much easier to make matches and specials. So, getting past this level is really a matter of perseverance. Having read all the previous messages in this blog for this level, I never went into a game thinking I was going to win. So, I wasn't too frustrated as I lost time after time. Eventually, I was just lucky. If I can do it, so can you. Good luck and persevere.

I got this level on the 34th attempt (yes, I count them), and it was with some luck and three lollipop hammers from the bonus wheel. I only had two combos, one sparkly/stripe combo and one wrapped/striped combo in the bottom two rows, which did major damage to the blocking cream, chocolate and the jelly. I also managed to get horizontal-firing stripes into the bottom rows and that also helped. The luck elements were getting three-candy melds to erode the blocking cream and the jelly on the spots underneath the barriers (or gaps), which were the hardest to clear. In the end, I had one piece of chocolate on the board (directly underneath the generator), no visible jelly and one move left--but no "sugar crush." I had not been even remotely close before, and fearing I might not be close again for awhile, I used the three hammers (and it was my good fortune I was playing on a device that has hammers available) to clear the chocolate and then the jelly. I ended up with the level won and three stars. Still, this was a hellish level and my luck was that I had few combos, but they were well-placed.

I will never pass this one. Its ridiculous. Whenever I finally get a move near the bottom, the chocolate eats it up. There's glitches too. Sometimes the striped don't break the chocolate. WTH??? I've been a loyal player for a long time but this just might be the one that does me in.

Wow this was very difficult but what do you expect when you have reached level 578! Everyone is correct about luck. You need a lot of it to complete this level. Just a thought, cannot understand why everyone complains. If you have made it this far you are not a Candy Crush novice. Get over it and go beat this level!

I agree with most of all the comments made on hear. We have got this far through mostly strategy, luck and paying out for golden bars occasionally on the way.This level is based only on luck, paying out for bars and lollipops.... if you are still lucky to have some.Novice or an experienced player, it doesn't matter!!! It's a free for all!! It's a money spinner for King and that is all that matters to them!!!Sort it out and lets get back to strategy, or else this is another CCS player who will be saying goodbye!!!

I just have to comment to those who are thinking of quitting. The rest of the episode is much easier. I finished in one day. King is cranking out new levels once a month. They most likely beta test them but if they are rushing there are going to be issues. I agree that this was the most awful level! It exceeded level 500. I never thought anything would be worse. Just think though, you have all mastered 577 levels. I have two suggestions for those of you playing on a phone. Hit your back button until you get a set up that looks feesable and reset your time 3 hours ahead to get more lives. Don't forget to set it back after you check to see if you have a full set of lives. Remember not to play until you have set your phone back to the correct time. That tactic, while to some may be cheating, has allowed me to get through 590 levels in a year's time.

How come the people who are so blase to say, I have got through this level and to go on to start talking about about how to get more moves on your phone and the next the level is easier!!! I have an Iphone and used the techniques of getting more moves but after level 575, it has now ended!!!! My mac let's me continue to level 578 and beyond!!! Consider yourselves lucky that you had the luck and not the strategy to move on!!!! This level is like winning the lottery.

I first posted on May 20th, having been stuck for four days at that point. June 5th and still stuck. I quit playing for so long because I hate this level. I sat down tonight with the intention of beating this stupid level, by continuously advancing the time on my phone for more lives until I beat it. Well, even that didn't work. My phone died before I beat it.

As for the people talking about algorithms, I do believe they are used. Every time I get the chance on a hard level, with the "rate me meter", I will vote boring and after just a few times, I will miraculously pass the board. Problem is, I'm never given that stupid thing on this level. After taking off for so long, I still didn't get a lucky board. I despise this level.

It was little hard, but there's been harder. Don't know what all the fuss is about. They have to be a bit more difficult at this stage as people will run out of games and soon start moaning again!! Don't give up, a little luck will come your way soon ;)

As if this level wasn't hard enough yet.... I just discovered 2 flaws making this level even worse: (1) stripes or even stripe/wrap combos don't always do the damage they are supposed to (no, it's not the licorice that's in the way); (2) the game says 'no more moves' and will reshuffle although clearly there were still moves possible.In sum: crappy level, still in beta phase. King, please fix this before unleashing this unfair level on us.To those having passed this level: don't pad yourself on your back: you were just extremely lucky as this level involves nothing but luck, luck and more luck. No strategy involved whatsoever.

How much time is 5 lives x times a day x 4 weeks?! WAAAAY too much time...!! This level is a complete mockery to the people who have come this far! Some have come passed - congrats to y'all - you are now eligble for Mensa. ;) Even if I lived to be a 100 years old - I wouldn't passe this level! M, Denmark.

going on about 6 stupid weeks on this level now..just the most boring, stupid and just not worth my time.. i play now less and less, because between this stupid level and level 237 on dreamworld...6 weeks is way to long to play a game..then same thing over and over again...I have found a few more games that are so much more fun and don't SUCK the enjoyment out of you and the play!!!! I will not buy any Hammers or any thing else to get thru this level...at this point i play once a week and it does not even bother me.. I don't miss it much!!!

I too have been on this level for weeks, first on the computer, then finally on the iPad after waiting forever for the update. When I can finally make a wrapped and or stripped candy, it goes to "no more moves" and sends the candy outside the play zone. I've also had a color bomb to mix with a stripped, but it does so little damage it's not worth it. One time I got fairly close, but then a bomb candy fell where I couldn't reach it. I have used up the free lollipops just trying to stay alive on the closer games. My free fish gave me one fish out of play. So there it is. This level is the most boring level. There are few and far cascading to make it exciting. I'm usually not one to complain, lol, but I am on this level. It is my choice to play it or not, and I will not spend another dime trying to get past a level. Just saying.

Everyone complains about getting a lucky board, the whole game is luck. Every board depends on what the game gives you, so it's all luck! You are at level 578, so you should expect a difficult game. Just look over the whole board for combo's, take your time and keep trying. Good luck to all
